I think it is a decision the Cubs will ultimately regret.  The Astros made
the same mistake in the early 80's when they went to what was then 1070
KENR.  Their nighttime direction pattern was so narrow that they hardly got
out at all, and they had to put the nighttime games on their FM rock station
KRBE which made that staff and audience very unhappy.  They only remained
with them for one contract before returning to KPRC, but they are now on
KTRH.  I think the same thing will happen with the Cubs.

Something I read said that the Cubs were looking for more money than 
WGN was willing to spend and WBBM bought in to it.  Cubs on A M - 
news on F M.  So on nights when I need the news to put me to sleep 
and the Cubs are on the West Coast, it's  F M for me.  The Cubs 
should make me sleepy but just piss me off!
